THRIFT LESSONS.

Learned from the European Peasantry.
Take care of the pence, and the
pounds will take care Of themselves" is
good old English proverb which con-
tains more wisdom than thoughtless
young people imagine. One of the best
words in the English language is thrift.
In olden times thrlftiness was held as a
great virtue in both husbandman and
housewife.
At present thriftiness, which is an
element Of success in life, is not enough
considered, especially by the youth Of
this country, in whom an inclination
toward LAVISH expenditure and waste is
largely developed. With the people OF
the Old World, from whom we can learn
much, thriftiness is honorable and ex
travagance a term of reproach. This
is especially true of the peasantry and
middle classes in Germany and Holland.
Economy is a virtue they are proud
to practice. They carry it into
every detail of daily life, and
while taking full enjoyment as they
go along, they accumulate possessions
for coming generations.
All of the better class of European
peasants try to own a piece of land
which can be cultivated and made to
bring in good returns. Travellers in
Germany notice with astonishmentwhat
may be called the patchwork appear
ance Of the broad expanses of level
farming lands.
This is due to the great number of
small farms into which the land is divid-
ed If a peasant can buy only few
acers, he will secure them, and set him
self industriously to work to gain the
largest crops possible from his little bit
of land. Every inch is made to pay.
A guiding maxim with these people is
to make the most of everything. Nothing
goes to waste in their economy, and they
never neglect to do a little because they
cannot satisfy their ambition by work
ing on 9 larger scale.
The very small sum Of money which
peasant household earn on the weekly
market day is carefully put aside. The
penny is worth saving, although It it is
so little. It is q penny, and does its
work toward making up larger sum.
The duty Of parents towards their chill
dren is very strongly dew eloped among
the European peasantry. The son IS
never held back in life for want OF means
which the father can supply, and the
mother is always incr easing, as fast as
possible, the stock Of household linen
which shall be the daughters portion
when she leaves the paternal roof for 3
new firdside. .
On the other hand as the parents
grow aged and feeble, to care for them
Is the glory and pride Of their children.
The attention and respect shown to old
people il Europe is one Of the most
beautiful traits Of European life.

LOSS ANDSGAIN.

Daily loss from Hiss rich store;
But the gains. however email, isa tt.#
Count them daily, one and all, 5:5}
Every sweet and gracious word, I:
Every pleasant truth you We heard
Every tender glance and tone,
Every kindly deed you ye known;
Every duty nobly done.
Every rightful victory won ~ ~
Treasure all and count them DER
As a miser counts his store. o.,
But ii bitter word or thought
Have bitter harvest brought:
Ii some foeman hath assaulted you,
Or the friends most trusted failed you,
II unkindness and untruth
Have to you brought saddest truth,
Blot the score without delay
Keep no record OF the day.
Keep no record OF the care,
LOSS and cross we all must bear;
On the page OF memory write
Only what is fair and bright,
Let all evil things 60 by;
Still, with brave endeavor, try
Simply joys to multiply.
Thus youth learn how large sum
Will with faithful reckoning come.
Long as after cloud and rain
Blessed sunshine comes again,
Long as after winters gloom
Summer roses bud and bloom
Long as we have with us here
One sad heart that we may cheer
Love as love eilds sorrows cross.
Lilies rich gain Ger pays the loss.

Homemade Refrigerator.

A homemade refrigerator does not
cost much beyond g. little work, says
a writer in the Inter Ocean, and will
soon pay for the expense connected
with it by the amount Of food pre-
served from waste. Any one who can
get ice regularly should manage to
have a refrigerator of some kind. One
that worked we'll was made as follows:
Two good stout dry goods boxes were
procured, one three or four inches
smaller than the other. Some saw
dust was spread on the bottom OF the
larger box, and the smaller one placed
upon it. At either end bore holes
three.quarters OF an inch in diameter
through both boxes and insert q roll
OF stiff pasteboard in them for venti-
lators. Fit lids to the top of each
box to open on hinges. Fill IN be-
tween the boxes with sawdust. Put
shelves at either end Of the inner box,
leaving a space in the middle Tor ice.

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-01-13

Senator Houston favored subscribing
for the papers, as the journals were unin-
telligible to the average man. Sending
them out among the people was like send
ing out the Greek Testament.
Senator Stinson favored the resolution,
saving in substance that his people were
disguised at not receiving papers and IN
formation during the last session.
Senator Mcdonald opposed taking the
papers, as possibly they would be sent
only to leading citizens, and the mass OF
the people would never see them.
Senator Bell thought the papers too ex-
pensive and opposed them.
Senator Burney thought the matter
should be referred to a committee.
Senator Pope moved the previous 4ues'
ton on the motion to commit and the
adoption of the original resolution.
Seconded and the main question or
dered.
The resolution to refer to a special
committee was then lost by tho following
vote:

SENATE.

Senate met. Roll call; quorum present.
Prayer by the chaplain.
Senator Woods introduced bill to pro-
vide for house of correction.
Senator Harrison offered resolution
that the president appoint one committee
clerk, to be known as general committee
clerk.
On motion of Senator Harrison action
on the resolution was postponed until to-
morrow after roll call.
Senator Stnson offered resolution to
allow each member of the senate to sub
scribe for and take as many as fifty
copies of such daily paper as shall pub
lish the full proceedings, or fair synop-
sis of the same.
Senator Calhoun, true to his past record,
yehemently opposed the resolution in one
of his characteristic speeches. He stated
that he was not loaded down With venom,
Eor did he desire to attract attention by
opposing the resolution. do not know
or recognize the authority, under the con-
stitution of the state, to appropriate 81
per day to each senator to pay for papers
to send out. He contended that it
would cost about $4,000 to do anything
of the kind. If we appropriate 81 per
day for our own political advancement
the house members, whom he believed
were just as good as the senators. would
have to do the same. Continuing, he said
there are some four Or five papers. perhaps,
which will be benefited by the adoption of
the resolution, and their influence, he de-
clared, would be used to build up their
res pective sections. The resolution turns
loose some $4,000 or $4,000 of the PEG.
pies money to no good.
don't say this in a spirit of venom. 1t
might be to my interest to sit quietly and
say nothing on this question, but fifty
copies to each senator will cut very small
figure among the people. l don't believe
the people can read the papers and find
out what is going on. We don't need to
spend $4,000 that our political friends
may see our names in the paper.
Senator Terrell favored the resolution,
as he wanted the people to know what
they were doing here. The money will be
well spent, and important information
be disseminated among the people.
Senator Harrison moved that the reso-
luton be referred to special committee.
Senator Terrell opposed it and insisted
that the papers would cost hut little over
the sum paid for the journals, and he
wanted immediate action.

Az was predicted in advance, the work
of organizing the two houses of the legis-
lature for the business of the session did
not consume Il very great amount of time.
The senate was ready for business yester-
day morning, and several of
the members of that illustrious body
improved the shining hour to fire sundry
bills at the secretary's desk. The news

spread of eloquence and consumed a con
siderable portion of the forenoon in the
